Malcolm To Go Back To Hospital / TOUR CANCELLED

[Urlar]

Dit is vers van de pers en komt via Runrig op Bebo:

We are sorry to bring you this latest news. Malcolm will enter hospital early next week to undergo heart by-pass surgery.

As most Runrig fans will know, Malcolm underwent minor surgery earlier this year, after suffering a heart related problem. The by-pass surgery has been recommended as a standard preventative procedure to ensure he experiences no further recurring heart problems.

Unfortunately, the timing of the surgery has forced the band to cancel the three upcoming Danish concerts scheduled for the end of this month.

We apologise for any disappointment caused by the cancellation of the Danish concerts, ones that the band was eagerly looking forward to, but Malcolm’s health must be our main priority. His doctors assure us that he will make a full and speedy recovery and will be back with us for the remainder of our Summer shows, including the Tonder Festival in Denmark and of course the big one at Scone Palace at the end of August.

We wish Malcolm every good thought for his forthcoming operation and for a successful and a speedy recovery.

Ik las net wat er nu staat op de officiële Runrig site en toen kreeg ik toch wel kippenvel..........
Ik hoop dat Malcolm zelf inziet dat je signalen van je lichaam en de resultaten van onderzoeken gedaan in het ziekenhuis niet moet negeren en dat hij en Runrig zich zeker niet schuldig moeten voelen over de nieuw ontstane situatie.
Hopelijk is de tweede operatie meer succesvol, die Malcolm moet ondergaan

Voor degene die het interesseert, hier het officiele bericht;

Following yesterdays shock announcement we felt it important, now that the urgent and unavoidable business practicalities are being dealt with, to explain the circumstances surrounding the decision.

Malcolm attended his specialist for a routine review on Tuesday of this week. There was concern over some results of tests and he attended again on Wednesday at which time, despite his own protestations, he was strongly urged not to go ahead with the Danish shows and to be admitted for immediate surgery on Monday of this coming week.

With this medical opinion we had absolutely no choice but to accept and act upon these crucial decisions: a massive disappointment, as the Danish open-air shows were eagerly anticipated by us all, not least by Malcolm. We are totally aware of the difficulties and sense of frustration that many will feel and we can assure you that it is a sense shared throughout the Runrig camp – we hate the thought of letting people down, particularly our loyal fans with all the varied plans, arrangements and financial outlay that surround attending these types of events. But we realise, of course, that you all understand.

We will work very hard now to look at what alternative opportunities might be available to play later in the year. However, it is too early to give any indications as to what may be achievable. For now our thoughts are with Malcolm but we will be back soon and will repay your loyalty with live shows at the earliest possible opportunity.

Vind het ook reuze spannend allemaal en hoop dat alles goed komt met hem, want dat is het allerbelangrijkst !!!!

Iain was visiting DR radio today to talk about why they canceled the concerts in Denmark. He told also that Malcolm `s surgery went well, he feels good and makes fun again.

Goed nieuws dus!!! Zijn al die kaarsen en "positve vibes" niet voor niets geweest!! .
Ik zat er toch ook wel een beetje over in hoor. Malcolm is tenslotte ook maar een gewoon mens; er kan zomaar iets misgaan
Zo'n bypass-operatie heeft wel heel vaak een goed resultaat.
Nu hopen dat hij de zo nodige rust neemt en luistert naar goed advies!
Dan is hij weer zo goed als nieuw voor Scone!!!

Vanaf hier de allerbeste wensen voor Malcolm!!

Goed nieuws over Malcolm;

We are delighted to let you know that Malcolm has now left hospital following successful heart by-pass surgery.

Malcolm underwent routine preventative surgery last week after suffering heart problems earlier this year. His surgery forced the band to cancel our May Danish tour, which has been rescheduled, with additional dates, for December of this year.

Malcolm will now spend July recuperating and resting at home before rejoining us in early August for rehearsals for appearances at the 35th anniversary Tonder Festival in Denmark and Scone Palace, Perth on Saturday, 29 August.

Everyone is delighted to see Malcolm out of hospital and we are all looking forward to him rejoining us to put on a show to remember at Scone Palace.


En nu maar hopen dat hij zijn rust neemt om aan te sterken !!
